Abstract: In this note we formulate a sufficient condition for the quasiconvexity at $xmapstolambdax$ of certain functionals $I(u)$ which model the stored-energy of elastic materials subject to a deformation $u$. The materials we consider may cavitate, and so we impose the well-known technical condition (INV), due to M"{u}ller and Spector, on admissible deformations. Deformations obey the condition $u(x)=lambdax$ whenever $x$ belongs to the boundary of the domain initially occupied by the material. In terms of the parameters of the models, our analysis provides an explicit upper bound on those $lambda>0$ such that $I(u)geqI(u_{lambda})$ for all admissible $u$, where $u_{lambda}$ is the linear map $xmapstolambdax$ applied across the entire domain. This is the quasiconvexity condition referred to above.
